Transgenic Software Releases Technical White Paper for its Flagship Product Villager Transgenic Animal Management System
Boise, ID (PRWEB) November 8, 2007 — Transgenic Software Inc. announced today the release of a technical white paper presenting an implementation methodology for Villager Transgenic Animal Management System.
The evolution of modern DNA techniques over the last 15 years has revolutionized the development of new transgenic animal models. As an example species such as transgenic mice have become a very important diagnostic tool in today’s Biomedical Research. Many companies are desperately looking for reliable Transgenic Animal Management Software.
Villager Transgenic Animal Management Systems integrates the best practices of transgenic science with the advanced tools of computer science to assist research companies in the discovery process. The technical white paper can be used by companies to assist them in developing a successful strategy for implementing a transgenic animal management system for their transgenic animal models.
A transgenic animal model is an animal whose genetic composition has been altered by the addition of foreign DNA. The DNA that is introduced is called a transgenic gene and the scientific process is known as transgenic technology. The term transgenic animal has now been extended to also include knockout animals which are produced by the deletion of a gene or other specific modifications to their genetic structure.
Chris Leith, CEO / President said, “Transgenic animals are very important in today’s biomedical research. Transgenic animals are now commonly used worldwide as models of human disease as well as for the production of therapeutic proteins. Advanced research is also being conducted in areas such as organ development and improved farm animal production.
“Over the last decade, transgenic animals have been one of the most useful resources for creating laboratory models in the study of human disease. The genetic structure of a transgenic animal may be modified in such a way that it develops a human equivalent disease. Typically, one particular gene has either been inactivated or inserted into the transgenic animal. These animals greatly facilitate the search for important new drugs and are now more than ever vital to the discovery process.
“Transgenic Animals are being developed and used to test the identity and purity of human proteins used as drugs. A transgenic animal that makes a human protein (i.e. human insulin) will recognize this substance as its own and will therefore not produce an immune response against it. As a result, the identity and purity of the product can be tested more effectively in such animals.
“Villager is the only transgenic animal research software available on the market today. Villager Transgenic Animal Management System can be deployed in any size transgenic research facility and is capable of tracking data for all animal species including transgenic mice, transgenic rats, transgenic cattle, transgenic primates, or any other types of transgenic animals.”
